Thanks Robert, my own opinion is that the Paisley shawl decoration is Monart at it's very best.

Thx Gary, I am also praising the paisley examples of millarart of course, great pieces all of these, equally impressive (I somehow conflated both of your GMb identities). Pieces of great glass in this thread, posted by all! As collectors, I think many of like to aspire towards museum quality, if ever possible, which seems the case here,

I dream of finding one in a junk shop for £20 ......one day!

I do believe Mr Millar has two

Both nice but the blue one does it for me Roberta

Given the discrepancy in size, and, unless Paul Kettle peeled off the Christie's Parkington Collection label, which I doubt, I would say that this is not the same piece as Parkington. Furthermore, the way the white and blue colours are laid onto your vase, Gary, does not conform to the picture in the Parkington Part I catalogue.

I would therefore say that the blue label with the info about the Parkington lot is an aide memoire put there by Paul Kettle. Maybe you could consider it part of the piece's history, or, if it 'offends' then, since it adds nothing - remove 

Cheers, Nigel

PS. I thought I was the only one who romantically considered Van Gogh's swirling skies when looking at these wonderful Paisley Shawl pieces

As do I. Wonder if they ever wandered over here (Canada).
